Republican political pundit John Davis issued a report earlier this week predicting Republicans will retain control of the N.C. Senate.

The prediction is not surprising -- even some Democrats concede the Senate is a lost cause after GOP-led redistricting. Republicans control the body now 31 to 19. Right now, Davis' scorecard forecasts nearly the same party breakdown (31R to 18D). The only toss up race is Senate District 50, featuring a rematch with Republican incumbent Jim Davis against former incumbent Democrat John Snow.

Republicans haven't had a majority in the state Senate in more than a century, but candidates are feeling good about their chances this election. 

An invitation to a fundraiser for Republican state Senate candidates invites contributors to help "Reclaim the NC Senate." The reclamation will cost donors a minimum of $100, up to $1,000.

The fundraiser, sponsored by Raleigh lawyer Kieran Shanahan and agribusinessman Frank Grainger, is Wednesday at the downtown Raleigh restaurant Caffe Luna. Political consultant John Davis is the guest speaker.
